CHAPTER 6

Armaan's POV

"Mom, I don't want to get married now. Why don't you understand? I'm not re..." I was shouting at mom when my dad slapped me and cut me off.

"Armaan, who the hell do you think you're shouting at. She's your mother you better don't disrespect her. We know what we're doing. Just get married to Alisha." He declared and mom was in tears. I had never raised my voice at her and my dad had never raised his hand on me. I was their only kid and they loved me too much. I was guilty that I talked to my mom like that.

"Mom, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that..." mom cut me off.

"It's ok son. We just care for you. But if you don't want this to happen then I'll try talk to your dad about it. But we just want you to be happy and move on. We don't want you to cry every night because of that girl. We know how good Alisha is. We just wanted to change our age long friendship to a relationship now. I guess we forgot about your happiness."Mom was told in a sad tone. She was very excited for the wedding. Urgh... I shouldn't have hurt her.

"Okay fine, I'll marry her. Don't be sad now. I'm really sorry for my rude behaviour." I apologised to her and agreed to get married. I knew even if mom would talk to dad about cancelling it then also he wouldn't because he was angry at me and that would only increase his anger.

"Sachhi." (Really.) She asked.

"Yes, nothing is more than your happiness." I told and she hugged me.

"Now let's go and sleep. Tomorrow we need to go to Alisha's place to discuss about the wedding." Mom told excitedly and left. I went to change and thinking about her I drifted to sleep.

'Maan, I love you. I was killed. I never thought that you'd move on so soon. It's just 6 months after my death and you decided to move on. My soul is not relieved and you thought of marrying. I didn't know that your love for me was this weak that you'd move on so soon. I want justice, Maan. I want to take you with me. I'm so lonely here. I didn't expect this from you, Maan.'

I woke up abruptly and felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Mom, you're still here?" I asked.

"What happened? Was it a bad dream?" She asked and I hugged her and started crying.

"Mom, you're still here?" He asked.

"What happened? Was it a bad dream?" I asked and he hugged me and started crying. He looked scared.

"Mom, she...she came in my dream. She told me that her so...soul isn't resting in peace. She told that she didn't expect me to move on so soon. I'm scared. Mom, she...she wants me to go to her. She is lonely over there. I want to go there mom. I want to be with her."He sobbed on my  shoulders and I was rubbing his back to console him.

"Drink some water." Mom told as she gave me the water bottle. I saw tears in her eyes.

Saisha's POV

"Sameer, don't be angry at arru now. Please try to understand. He has lost the love of his life. Just imagine what if I die tom..." Sameer kept his index finger on my lips and cut me off.

"Don't even complete that sentence. You know that o can't live without you." Sameer told still keeping his finger on my lips.

"Exactly. You can't even imagine and he has suffered it. You shouldn't be ang..."I jumped when Armaan screamed. I got scared and went to his room. He was at the verge of crying. I kept my hand on his shoulder.

"Mom, you're still here?" He asked.

"What happened? Was it a bad dream?" I asked and he hugged me and started crying. He looked scared.

"Mom, she...she came in my dream. She told me that her so...soul isn't resting in peace. She told that she didn't expect me to move on so soon. I'm scared. Mom, she...she wants me to go to her. She is lonely over there. I want to go there mom. I want to be with her."He sobbed on my  shoulders and I was rubbing his back to console him.

"Drink some water." I  was shocked to here that my son wants to die told.

After a while, he slept. I went to my room and started sobbing.

"Heyyy...why are you crying?" Sameer asked.

"I can't see him like that, Sameer. He is all broken. I'm scared of loosing him now. He's my life. I can't live without him and he tells that he wants to go to her. My heartbeat increased when I thought of loosing him. Arru, is the reason for me to live my life. If something happens to him then even I will d.." Sameer shushed me again even he had tears in his eyes.

"Shhh...I won't let anything happen to you both. Understand? I might not express it but I also love him. I'll talk to him tomorrow morning. Okay?" He asked and hugged me. I nodded. He went out to check on Arru.

"Arru is sleeping peacefully. Let's sleep." He told and I nodded we both were lying on bed his back facing me.

"Sameer?"

"Hmm"

"What if arru seriously tries something to go to her?" He turned immediately listening to what I said.

"Come here." He told extending his hand towards me and asking me to go closer to him.

"He is our son. He must have said it that moment but he'll never do something like that." He said embracing me.

Armaan's POV

I was working in my office when my phone rung.

"Hello, Armaan. Someone's forgotten me after they went to India."

"Oh Hi! Shanaya. How are you ?"

"So someone remembers me."

"How can I forget my only friend and best friend after Karan."She was my only friend after Karan. She was my neighbour and we studied in same school.She knew how much I missed Karan when I was in Paris. Karan and I were always close even if we lived in two different countries. Karan and I were in different places only during school days. We completed our higher studies together in same college.

"Yeah yeah. I know that no one can replace Karan. By the way looks like someone's getting married. This is so mean Armaan, you disappear without telling anyone and you plan to get married also I thought you loved her and wouldn't move on so soon."

"It's not like I'm moving on. It's just that my parents want me to marry their bestie and business partner's daughter. They were like we 4 fell in love with each other and got married now we want you both to marry and we want to change this friendship to family relation." I told her mimicking the last part. There was another person calling me.

"Okay. I'm at office and I have a meeting

in a few minutes." Since the call was from one of my private investigators whom I had appointed to know about the person who was the reason for her death and I hadn't disclosed about it to anyone so I lied to her.

"Bye."

"Bye."

"Hello. Any information about Neha's death?"

"Good evening, sir. I've called you to let you know that we've found the person who was behind Neha madam's death."

"Mail me all the details."

After a while I got the mail. I was shocked would be an understatement. I never expected that this person would be the reason behind her death. Though she was always rude to me I thought that she was good at heart. No matter who she is, I'm going to take my revenge. She destroyed me by taking my Neha away from me, now wait and watch Alisha Kapoor.
